“No, I don’t think there’s much of a change in my mindset [batting down the order]. The captain and coach came up to me and said, we need you to bat at No. 5, to help the team. I was like, if my team needs me to do it, I’m ready to bat anywhere,” said Jemimah after her career-best 86 at No. 5 which helped India level the series 1-1.

“Harry di [Harmanpreet] also said that be ready with your bowling because we will need you on these tracks and that’s what I do. On this challenging wicket, we had to build partnerships and I didn’t change my mindset,” she added.
